As gay as a mortal could be.

And he fluttered about

Till at last he turned out

A Butterfly man, as you see.

THE TRANSFERRED SMILE

Two little snails did smile and smile,

The summer day beguiling.

Two birds espied them from afar,

And now the birds are smiling.

THE ROYAL GROTTO

A king and a queen in a grotto

Are kissing as kings and queens ought to

If you'll look you will find

Two attendants behind,—

"To watch and to guard," is their motto.

THE MODEST MISS KANGAROO
